I’ve got a 35Rem lever gun, I was forced to put a scope on it (Covid has affected my eyesight). What distance should I zero my scope using Federal 200 gr round nose ammo. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, Robinhedd

I use a 100 zero on mine,maybe a tad higher.

It just depends on the area you hunt and what your shots might be.

There are tables on line that can help you. I forget the name of them. Perhaps someone will chime in.

Offhand, I'd suspect that an inch or two high at 100 yards would give you the maximum point blank range.


Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

I usually go an inch high at 100 yards. Any farther and I am toting something else. No need to get benchrest accurate less than 150 yards.


At one with the gun.

Depends on where you gonna hold the cross hairs (when engaging at point blank range)

If you hold battlesight.....I.e. Base of target Two inches high at 100.


Also depends on ammo.

These things are best figured out off the internet.......as most thing I suppose.

Last one I shot with 35 Rem I set it up for 100 yds using 200 gr round nose with a $100 bushnell. Killed a deer at 35-40 yds. That was 15 yrs ago & shells were scarce then.

What distance will you be shooting at game?
Go from there using estimated or tested trajectory for your ammunition.

zero it at 50 should put it in a kill zone holding it dead on to 150 yards.

+.3” @ 50 yds should zero at 100 and hit about 4” low at 150.

This. ^^^^ It all depends on what the average distance on deer is in your hunting area. After checking ballistics online, spend time at the range shooting at different yardage up the maximum range for your hunting area. Practice makes perfect and builds confidence.

If you sight that Federal 200 grain load exactly 1 inch high at 50 yards, you'll then be an inch and 1/3 high at 75 yards, an inch high at 100, dead on at 125 yards, a little over an inch and 3/4's low at 150 yards and 4 and 1/2 inches low at 175 yards, and 8 and 1/2 inches low at 200.

You could also try the LeverEvolution ammo by Hornady. It's flatter trajectory may help finding that sweet spot to aim dead on from 40 to 100 plus yards and still be minute of deer.

Wouldn't somebody accustomed to shooting an iron sighted rifle chambered in .35 Rem already know this?
